The Southern Israelite Page 9 Cliil<li*eii*s Corner All Right* Rt’srrrerl dear Children: It's so nice to have contests—everyone has a share in the excitement and .isure. Our “State” contest was very successful and I enjoyed all of your tributions. I am sorry that I can t give lots of prizes for there were so iv of you who tried hard and sent in really fine work, jjut now—let’s congratulate the winners! The first place goes to Relno age 13, of Hot Springs, Arkansas. And Harry Goldgar, of Mhcon, r^ja, won second place. Lillian Michael, also of Macon, deserves a very .; able mention for her poem. It was almost a prizewinner, and we hope a at from her again. My heartiest congratulations to you, Relno and Harry, I do hope you will enjoy your prizes a great, great deal. Today 1 am sending you Relno’s essay and Harry’s will appear quite soon. Now keep on the lookout, Children, another contest will he on the way, h more fun and prizes for everyone. My love to you all, SISTER MIRIAM. ARKANSAS About two hundred years ago the first groups of white settlers came to ,at;sas. They found no schools, homes, cities or farms as we now have. Vast • mhos of level plain and rugged hills covered with dense growths of fine :■«■!• met their sight. One could see many varieties of wild flowers blooming and there. Animal life was abundant. Great quantities of coal, oil, gas, ; many minerals were lying undisturbed as they had been for ages. Semes of beauty and natural wonders for which men now eagerly search t then unknown and undiscovered. Our lumber industry has been a great power in the development of Ar- isas. Many of our thriving cities have had their beginnings in lumber ips. There are more than one hundred kinds of trees growing in Arkansas, mt sixty varieties of which are used for commercial purposes. These va- ios of trees are scattered widely over the state, but generally we find hill sections covered with oak, hickory, maple, elm, cedar, and other hard mIs. while in the lowlands and southern part of the state we have sypress, t pine, white oak, gum and sycamore. Our schools of higher education, laboring under the most severe financial irulties, are accomplishing outstanding work. The new Little Rock High -.1 at Little Rock, is one of the most beautiful school buildings in America <>st $ 1,bOO,000. This building is a fitting expression of the educational ■cress of our people. RELNO SHAY, Age 13. 217 Parker Street, Hot Springs, Arkansas. And now 1 want you to see part of a lovely letter I received the other Sister Miriam: 1 have been reading your corner and have several things to contribute to I hope you will like them. Here is a verse: As the graceful river winds its way, Every ripple seems to say, “Won’t you get into a boat And down our winding river float?” Here is a riddle. I did not make it up, but I read it in a book and thought ather clever. ■faek's father had just come home from the office. His eyes twinkled as aid, “I have a riddle for you, Jack” Jack’s eyes twinkled too as he answered, “What is it, Father?” "Where is it leap-year all the year round?” Jack thought a moment and answered, “In Frog-land! That’s easy.” Love, CAROLYN WALLACE, Augusta, Georgia. P'a Rroad Street. < arolyn, do let me hear from you soon again. Your little poem is charm- • and I'd like some more of your verses and stories, too.
